The mighty fleet sailed towards Manraka, but a merchant ship came alone to meet the fleet. Zhang Zhijie looked at it and ordered the fleet to gradually stop, and he could guess that it must be the Portuguese coming.

Now that he has personally led the fleet to approach Manchuria, I wonder if the marshal of the Portuguese fleet still has illusions, and in the face of absolute strength, any illusions will eventually be shattered.

Fernand took a deep breath and boarded the warship, the Governor of the Ming Dynasty was looking at the scenery in the distance, Fernan bowed and said, "Respected Governor of the Ming Dynasty, hello!" I would like to take our marshal to greet you! ”

Zhang Zhijie turned around and said lightly: "What? Do you want to write a war letter? The Governor has already led the fleet to Manraka, so there is nothing to talk about, right? What the Governor wants, the Governor can take it himself! ”

Fernand bowed and said: "Our Kingdom of Portugal has no intention of being an enemy of the Ming Dynasty and the Governor, this may be full of misunderstandings, so our Excellency the Marshal wants to meet the Governor!" ”

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help laughing after hearing it, Fernand's words revealed a lot of news! The Portuguese marshal still has illusions, this is not the key, the key is that he himself led the fleet to approach Manchuria, but the Portuguese marshal still chose to meet him, which shows that the Portuguese marshal no longer has the courage to fight a war.

Not only did he not have the courage to fight the First World War, but the Portuguese marshal didn't even have the courage to defend Manraga to the death! The Portuguese marshal wanted to meet Zhang Zhijie for the last time, but Zhang Zhijie completely saw his weakness.

Zhang Zhijie nodded lightly and said: "Okay, since your marshal wants to see the governor, then why don't the governor see him!" ”

Zhang Zhijie happily agreed, since the Portuguese marshal did not have the determination to fight at all, it would be best if he could take Manraka without blood.

Fernand happily went back to reply, and the Portuguese marshal listened to Fernand's reply, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and meet this Ming governor!" ”

"Your Excellency, beware of deception!" "yes, yes!" The generals persuaded one after another. The Portuguese marshal waved his hand and said: "I think this Ming governor is a real nobleman, and he will not do such a shameless thing!" ”

All the generals were silent when they heard this, as if they were not the ones who had just spoken and persuaded them. It's like a simple coping session.

The Portuguese marshal immediately prepared to go to the sea to meet the governor of the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese marshal originally planned to go by warship, but he changed his mind temporarily, he was afraid that the Ming governor would seize the warship, so he decided to take Fernand's merchant ship to go.

Even if it was a loss of his identity, it was better than losing a warship. However, he thought too much, Daming's Longjiang Shipyard was already able to manufacture this kind of Western sailing ship, and Zhang Zhijie would not be so tasteless.

Before boarding the ship, the Portuguese marshal commanded in a deep voice: "If the governor of the Ming Dynasty detains me, then you will immediately abandon the island and return to the kingdom, and leave me alone!" ”

The generals who remained all saluted and obeyed, and although His Excellency the Marshal made a major mistake in this operation in the East, which caused incalculable losses to the Kingdom, His Excellency the Marshal's loyalty to the Kingdom was unquestionable.

The Portuguese marshal approached the Ming fleet on a merchant ship, and the mighty hundreds of warships gave the Portuguese marshal a great sense of oppression, and he knew that these hundred warships were by no means all the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Now the Portuguese fleet is weaker than the Ming fleet, and it can't even compete with the Ming fleet in a short time! In the future, only the fleet of the Kingdom of Spain can compete with the fleet of the Ming Dynasty.

But Spain probably will not abandon its vast colonies and devote itself to a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty for the interests of the East, because it is not worth it at all! Moreover, the contradictions between the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of England were becoming more and more serious, and it was impossible for the Kingdom of Spain to focus on the East.

Therefore, in the future, the East will be the world of the Ming Dynasty! The fleet of the Ming Dynasty will crisscross the seas of the East and become the overlord of the East. Therefore, the Portuguese marshal no longer had the luxury of continuing to develop interests in the East, he now only hoped to keep Mangara!

The Portuguese marshal boarded the Ming Dynasty's fortune ship, full of curiosity about this oriental sailing ship, although it could not be explored, but at a cursory glance it did not look like a backward indigenous warship. Also, since they can defeat the fleet of their Kingdom of Portugal, it is impossible to be backward.

After all, he is the marshal of the Kingdom of Portugal, Zhang Zhijie still respects it very much, and it is specially arranged in the cabin. The Portuguese marshal entered the cabin, and Zhang Zhijie got up to greet him. The gray-haired Portuguese marshal looked at the young Ming governor who was not talkative, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The Governor of the Ming Dynasty, who led a huge fleet to defeat him, turned out to be such a young man, who was already in the position of Governor General at such a young age, and who was in charge of the fleet, must have outstanding abilities and noble family backgrounds.

Therefore, the Portuguese marshal not only did not despise Zhang Zhijie's youth, but paid more attention to it. After entering the cabin, Fernand immediately introduced: "Honorable Governor of the Ming Dynasty, this is Álvaro, the marshal of our Kingdom of Portugal? Duke of Coutinho! ”

Marshal Álvaro bowed and said, "Hello, Your Excellency the Governor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled and said, "Welcome, Marshal Alvaro, please!" Zhang Zhijie smiled and asked Alvaro to sit down.

Álvaro sat down opposite Zhang Zhijie, Zhang Zhijie bowed slightly, and immediately a waiter stepped forward to serve tea. Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Marshal Alvaro came from afar, the warship is very simple, please forgive the marshal, please use tea." ”

Since Álvaro came, he was calm, smiled and picked up the tea, and before the tea reached his mouth, he felt that the tea was fragrant, and the smell was refreshing and refreshing.

As the Duke of Portugal, Álvaro naturally drank tea, but he had never drunk such a fragrant tea, took a sip gently, and after tasting it, Álvaro exclaimed: "Good tea, I have never drunk such a wonderful tea!" ”

Nonsense, this is the best West Lake Longjing before the rain, it is rare in Daming, how can it flow to Europe, it is strange that Alvaro can drink it.

Zhang Zhijie smiled faintly and said: "Since Marshal Alvaro, then the governor will send the marshal a box to talk about the governor's intentions." ”

The more aftertaste can taste the more wonderful this tea, Álvaro feels that the tea he has drunk before is not worthy of being called tea at all, this is the real tea! Since the Governor of the Ming Dynasty sent it sincerely, Álvaro smiled and said, "Then thank you Lord Governor for your gift, I do like this tea very much." ”
